NW seafood with bay views in an upscale setting
"This place located at the northern end of Pike Place is where you might be tempted to take a visiting relative whose eyes light up at anything that says “Crabhouse.” It’s an upscale dining room where they gallantly stretch out white tablecloths—but the food disappoints. You’ll need to send a search party out to find seafood in the crab melt topped with a sickening amount of cheese, and the clam chowder is a watery mess. Even the waterfront views are a let-down now that there’s so much construction next door. Bring your seafood-loving aunt elsewhere." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, kayla sager riley

"A hawker-style pop-up serving crab that has been described as a runaway success in Seattle, operating primarily out of partner venues and relying on a small team and the host’s infrastructure to reach customers. The project has given its chef a public platform and new audiences while clarifying long-term ambitions to open a permanent restaurant, even as she grapples with immigrant-specific barriers like licensing, paperwork, and financing; mentorship programs and local business resources have helped bridge some of those gaps." - Jaya Saxena
"Located at Pike Place, Cutters Crabhouse was among the restaurants that the Landry’s purchase likely saved and it remains firmly open." - Tim Forster
